Development of Cannabinoid sensors

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Our Team at the University of Ottawa has developed an electronic sensor that can detect and differentiate different cannabinoids in both vapour and liquid. The sensor is based on organic thin film transistor technology and has the potential for inexpensive on-site detection and quantification without the need for highly trained personnel or expensive laboratory equipment. This technology is of great interest to cannabis producers, growers and distributors. This project will aid in improving our sensor device signal output, as well as build scaled down testing equipment, and a user-friendly software interface. This will enable us to demonstrate to investors a minimum viable product for our first market application in portable sensing for licensed producers. By the end of the project, we will secure additional private investment for our startup company, Ekidna Sensinginc. that will iterate upon the product and deliver a portable system to licensed cannabis producers for integration into their processes.
